Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Red wasn’t the type of Star Ruler that specialized in offense.

Her abilities were related to blood and the color red, which were more suited for large-scale battles, and if she was commanding a legion, she would be able to have an unimaginable impact.

It was a pity that she was forced to fight against an individual, and Gu Nan happened to be an expert in this area.

The red color was getting thicker and thicker, almost wrapping Gu Nan in a cocoon, and it was already completely impossible to see his figure anymore.

The next second, a loud sound traveled out from within the crimson cocoon, as if something had smashed against the outer shell, and even space shook with a burst of tremors.

Wu Gui actually felt some relief when she saw Gu Nan getting trapped so easily, but at that moment, she glanced at Red in shock.

"Go help," Red spoke laboriously as beads of sweat started to fall from her forehead.

"Help whom?" Wu Gui asked quickly. She believed that with this scene at hand, Red wasn’t trying to ask her to help fight against Gu Nan.

Bang! Bang! Bang…

The loud bangs from inside the cocoon grew louder, and the two could already imagine the scene of Gu Nan's fists smashing heavily against the walls.

"Ying Ge," Red seemed to have used up all her strength to utter those two words.

……

Bang!

Accompanied by some kind of sound similar to glass breaking, the crimson cocoon finally shattered, and an unharmed Gu Nan slowly stepped out from it.

"Your power declined way too much." Gu Nan calmly looked at Red.

He wasn't injured, just stained with some red color. This meant Red's control over her power was no longer able to achieve even the most basic materialization of her laws into physical form.

In a little over a decade, Gu Nan had broken through two consecutive levels and his power had skyrocketed, whereas Red had regressed instead of advancing and couldn’t even compare to her former self from ten years ago.

More importantly, since Star Realm was an outer space-type plane with great distance between planets, the Star Ruler’s control was far weaker than that of an ordinary astral world.

The power that Red could borrow from Star Realm was even weaker than that of some Tier 6 Star Rulers, and she was fighting more with her own strength.

"You told Wu Gui to save Ying Ge?" Gu Nan revealed a smile. "Looks like your relationship isn't that simple."

To think that Ying Ge and Zi Dian were still staying in Star Realm. Moreover, with their levels, they couldn’t pose a threat to Gu Nan at all.

……

Indigo Mountain.

Groups of Dark Knights descended from the sky and started charging while in midair, aiming straight for the peak of Indigo Mountain.

The skeletal warhorses the knights rode galloped wantonly in the air while making loud rumbles that shook the ground.

The leader of the Dark Knights was also a knight, except he was covered in crimson armor, making him particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

Ren Dongzhan, one of the nine members of the player army. The route he chose was the Blood Knight Commander.

The Blood Knight Commander was a so-so route that didn't have many amazing powers, but every ability was very practical.

First, it had the abilities shared by all Knight Commander classes that augmented the user’s commands and strengthened the cavalry, and then it also had the special laws related to blood.

Blood Resurrection, Blood Strengthening, Blood Tracking, and so on—it was quite like a combination of vampires and undead.

This time, he led the Dark Knight Cavalry, and his target was none other than the gathering place of special cultivators, such as Indigo Mountain.

"Who goes there?!"

As the first Dark Knight landed, a clear and delicate voice rang out. There were already quite a few fox ladies standing below.

All the apostles descended as soon as the invasion started, so these natives obviously didn't realize what was happening.

Ren Dongzhan coldly surveyed the fox ladies below. The delicate faces of the Indigo Mound Tribe didn’t move his expression at all under his helmet.

And without any new commands from him, the Dark Knights naturally only carried out their original order.

Charge! Continue charging!

The skeletal warhorses galloped on the void, and each step caused the knights' speed to increase, their charge to pick up momentum, and the converging laws to solidify even further.

That’s right. These Dark Knights, who generally only had Tier 3 strength, were already able to materialize laws because of their characteristics as divine servants.

"Stop now! To dare trespass into my Indigo Mountain, you—"

Before a fox lady could finish her shout, the lance from Ren Dongzhan had already arrived, instantly impaling her skull.

Following closely behind him were the Dark Knights in an extremely fast charge. They had no intention of slowing down at all, stabbing the enemies in front of them before stepping over their corpses.

The knights directly landed on the peak of Indigo Mountain, then headed towards the middle of the mountain, where the fox clan lived.

The six Indigo Mound elders had already shown themselves. All of them were astonished at these enemies that appeared out of nowhere.

However, right at this moment, a layer of mist began to gradually emerge, blocking the path of the Dark Knights' advance.

As soon as the knights entered the mist, their charge slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

No, it wasn't that their charge was slowed down, but rather, it was as if an extremely long distance had been added between them and Indigo Mountain.

"Our utmost gratitude to you, Lord Di Wen. We’d be in trouble this time if you weren’t here," an Indigo Mound elder gave a full bow, expressing her gratitude towards a youth beside her.

"It's a trivial matter." Di Wen waved his hand and laughed. "With me and Xian'er’s relationship, how can I sit back and watch the Indigo Mound tribe suffer?"

By his side stood a beautiful-looking young girl, and a blush surfaced on her face when she heard this.

"I don’t know where these vicious invaders came from… But since they dared to act so unbridled in the Central Region, Starry Ocean Pavilion will teach them a lesson," another Indigo Mound elder also spoke confidently.

The words “Starry Ocean Pavilion” still held a lot of weight in Star Realm, calming the hearts of the crowd.

Di Wen even laughed. "Although these fellows look powerful, they're only at Prodigious Realm. I'm afraid it won't take more than a few minutes for them to run out of strength."

A few minutes passed.

Ren Dongzhan was still leading the charge at the forefront of the cavalry instead of relying on his own strength to move forward quickly, while Di Wen's expression turned a little stiff.

A few more minutes passed. The army had already charged through over half of the mist, yet the cavalry didn't have the slightest intention of slowing down. Di Wen began to exert his full strength.

The mist space was once again stretched, but the cavalry accelerated even faster!

"They're coming!" Di Wen couldn’t manage to stall them any longer and could only reluctantly shout, signaling for the people around him to take shelter.

But what he didn't expect was that the instant his voice fell, a blood-red figure had already taken the lead and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye!

Blood Knight Commander, Ren Dongzhan!

The blood-red lance in Ren Dongzhan's hand gently reached forward, but it was like a violent ram from some ferocious beast, and Di Wen, who had been hit in the chest, instantly exploded into a cloud of bloody mist.

Immediately following Ren Dongzhan and charging out of the mist was one black hurricane after another. Di Wen's mist was like a perfect acceleration belt, accelerating the Dark Knights’ speed to the extreme.

The Indigo Mound elders who showed up didn’t even have time to grunt in pain before all of them perished in the blink of an eye.

Ren Dongzhan glanced down at the corpses on the ground and led along his warhorse. "Continue charging. By His Excellency’s order, leave none alive."

On this day, blood flowed like rivers on Indigo Mountain, while similar scenes played out all over Star Realm.
